Nelius did not care for these writings and sold some to Ptolemy Philadelphus (ruled 285-247 B.C.) who was building up the library of Alexandria, Egypt. The remaining manuscripts were hid in a cave until they were obtained for a private library in Athens. Shortly thereafter (84 B.C.) they were taken to Rome where they were cataloged and a first edition was prepared about 1 B.C. From this first edition all other editions have originated directly or indirectly. All these writings except one belonged to the third group. The various writings were in reality lectures given by Aristotle or by others in the Lyceum. They cover logic, mechanics, physics, astronomy, meteorology, botany, zoology, psychology, ethics, economics, politics, metaphysics, literature and the like. It is possible that Aristotle did not verbally compose the material dealing with each subject. They may have represented the teachings of Theophrastus and other members of the Lyceum. Generally they are believed to be the subject of his lectures. Botanical subjects were presumable discussed in the Academy and the Lyceum. It has been pointed out that Aristotle and his pupils were not merely interested in the practical value of plants but were also concerned with definitions, form, and growth of plants as well. Aristotle's botanic writings have been lost and

    2. Prelude
    In this chapter I sketch some history of the ideas which concern us leading to the revolution in logic which begins with the work of Frege. It is a very selective history of philosophy and science from its origins in ancient Greece through to nineteenth century Europe. Philosophy in the broadest sense of that tradition which for a some time in the 20th century was known as ``Analytic Philosophy'' has, to a substantial extent been concerned with reason . While sharing this characteristic with Mathematics, it has in some respect remained poles apart from Mathematics. For the most part Mathematics has been a discipline characterised by the rigour of its methods and the certainty of its results.
    2.1 The First Revolution
    The first ``revolution'' in philosophy was its birth, which we locate in ancient Greece. Philosophy in ancient Greece was not so narrowly cast as it is now, it included science and often placed great emphasis on the importance of mathematics.

Separate listing of Aristotle's Works.

Secondary literature on Aristotle.

"Being is said in many ways" is a standard formulation of Aristotle. It sounds rather superfluous and straightforward to state this, but this is actually due to Aristotle and this fact makes Aristotle very interesting to study. You and I have height, colour, a certain number of arms, legs, fingers, ears etc.. We have different ways of behavior, taste, interests and so on. We are said to be different and equal in various aspects. From Plato we learn that a man is good, due to his participation in The Good (in greek, to anypothon ). Aristotle rejected the theory of forms (eidos) as known from Plato. In Aristotle's ontology there is only concrete substances (this horse, that cup, this vase etc.) and in talking of the particular substances we use concepts, but the things - substances - is prior to the concepts or forms which we ascribe to them. Plato worked the other way around. For Plato the forms (eidos) were prior and necessary conditions which formed a intelligible realm in contrast the phenomenal realm. The more exact theory of Plato is highly ingenious and much of Aristotle's critique were probably addressed to other students of Plato (for a further discussion, Jonathan Barnes "Metaphysics" in Cambridge Companion to Aristotle ). In his formulation of his own theory Aristotle developed his own terminology, invented grammatical forms and a system of classification (primary substance, secondary substance; the categories). In addition Aristotle invented and created the classical logic as we know it today. The logical, semantical and metaphysical aspects is closely connected in Aristotle's way of expressing being.

He remained there for about 20 years, as a student and then as a teacher. When Plato died in 347 BC, Aristotle moved to Assos, a city in Asia Minor, where a friend of his, Hermias, was ruler. There he counseled Hermias and married his niece and adopted daughter, Pythias. After Hermias was captured and executed by the Persians in 345 BC, Aristotle went to Pella, the Macedonian capital, where he became the tutor of the king's young son Alexander, later known as Alexander the Great. In 335, when Alexander became king, Aristotle returned to Athens and established his own school, the Lyceum. Because much of the discussion in his school took place while teachers and students were walking about the Lyceum grounds, Aristotle's school came to be known as the Peripatetic (“walking” or “strolling”) school. Upon the death of Alexander in 323 BC, strong anti-Macedonian feeling developed in Athens, and Aristotle retired to a family estate in Euboea. He died there the following year.

[Back To A List Of Philosophers]

Aristotle
(BC, 384-322) Locke concluded that Aristotelianism was "perplexed with obscure terms and useless questions"; to the Swiss psychologist, Jean Piaget (1896-1980), Aristotle had "a naive and childlike animistic view of the world." In more recent times an evolutionary approach to the understanding of our world has progressively displaced the stationary Aristotelian view. "As a young man, we are told, he [Aristotle] squandered his patrimony in riotous living; he joined the army, and was thrown out of it; for a while he sold drugs and nostrums to make a living. Finally, at the age of thirty, he ended up in college in Plato's Academy At Alexander's death, 323 BC, Aristotle found himself connected to the wrong crowd; he fled Athens, and just in time for charges of "impiety" were brought against him; the same charges, which, 76 years earlier, had led to the death of Socrates. He did not live long in exile: he died within the year. Ethically, Aristotle figured that "happiness is the goal of life. Pleasure, fame, and wealth, however, will not bring one the highest happiness"; it is achieved by a contemplative and monastic way of life. ( Benet's Aristotle had an extraordinary impact on both the people of his day and those who followed him down through the centuries; it is to be attributed to his logistical way of thinking, his rigorous scientific procedure. His premises, however, were not correct. If you are a believer in the proposition that all men are created equal, then Aristotle is not your man. Aristotle considered slavery to be entirely natural, simply because "some men are adapted by nature to be the physical instruments of others." Further, and more generally, Aristotle had "an intense conviction of the natural inferiority of the 'barbarian.'"

Aristotle, 384-322 B.C.
Born at Stagira, a Greek colony on the peninsula of Chalcidice, Aristotle was the son of Nicomachus, the friend and physician of Amyntas II, king of Macedon, father of Philip, and grandfather of Alexander the Great. At 18 years of age, Aristotle left Stagira for Athens and three years later, he became a pupil at Plato's Academy. During his twenty years in Athens he established a school of rhetoric. To this period belong some of his dialogues, including the Eudemus (and its Platonic influence). Upon Plato's death in 347, Aristotle left Athens. He spent three years with an old friend, the despot of Lesbos, at Atarneus in Asia Minor, and married his niece. In 342, Aristotle was invited by Philip of Macedon to educate his son, Alexander. The two parted when Alexander set out on his expedition into Asia in 334. Aristotle returned to Athens in 335 and set up a school called the Lyceum, so named from its proximity to the temple of Apollo Lyceius. His followers were called Peripetetics. After the death of Alexander, the anti-Macedonian party accused Aristotle of impiety. With the example of Socrates behind him, Aristotle escaped (322) to Chalcis in Euboea, where he died in the same year. Trained as a physician, Aristotle brought to his philosophy a respect for fact, which he based on his doctrines. Plato, on the other hand, created a philosophic system grounded in the theory of forms. Aristotle, it is said, brought Plato down to earth. He was the first to work out a theory of reasoning which, with modifications over time, has survived to our own day as deductive logic. His

Aristotle (384 - 322 BC)
Ancient Greek philosopher, born in Stageira, Chalcidice, Macedonia, Greece in 384 B.C. His father was court physician to the King of Macedonia. He went to Athens in 367 B.C. to study with Plato, then returned to Macedonia in 342 B.C. to serve as tutor of prince Alexander, the later Alexander the Great. Aristotle returned to Athens around 334 B.C. and founded Lyceum. He died at Chalcis, Euboea, Greece 322 B.C. He found and summarized arguments for a spherical Earth, thus ruling out older models with a flat Earth. Moreover, he constructed a world system of concentric spheres around Earth in the center (i.e., a geocentric system), carrying planets and the outermost the "Fixed" stars - thus forming a finite spherical universe. He believed that "nebulous" objects like comets or the Milky Way belonged to the near-Earth space, the domain of meteorology instead of astronomy. He considered meteorological phenomena short-lived, while the "heavenly" spheres would never change. Aristotle's view of the world was more dogmatic than empirical. These philosophic views, further developed and enriched with

Aristotle of Stagira (384-322 BC)

Greek philosopher usually upheld as one of the greatest philosophers of all times. Aristotle studied at the Academy, but disagreed with Plato , feeling that one could obtain knowledge about the natural world. He distinguished between two types of philosophers: the physiologoi (natural philosophers) who study nature (e.g. Thales Anaximander , and Anaximenes ) and the theologoi who used gods and myths (e.g. Homer and Hesiod ). Aristotle believed that there exists a "golden mean," or desirable middle ground between any two extremes. He founded his own school in Athens called the Lyceum (or "peripatetic school," since Aristotle used to lecture while walking) which emphasized natural philosophy. Aristotle's lectures were compiled into 150 volumes including Physics, Metaphysics, and De Caelo et Mundo (On the Heavens and Earth). Aristotle philosophized on virtually every other subject. He classified animals in a "Scala Naturae" or "Chain of Being" which consisted of God, man, mammals, oviparous with perfect eggs (e.g., birds), oviparous with non-perfect eggs (e.g., fish), insects, plants, and non-living matter. He considered each link in the chain as a "species." He also made extensive taxonomic studies of more than 500 animal species, dissecting many of them. The observations he published in Generation of Animals and Historia Animalum (Investigation of Animals) were meticulous, and his classification scheme conspicuously modern, departing from the prior Greek practices of using categories such as with feet/footless and winged/wingless. Aristotle achieved such a feat in biology by making use of the same principles of logic (whose systematic study he was the founder of) that he applied in his physical investigations. He did not, however, make a real classification system for plants.

Aristotle.

Son of the physician to the king of Macedonia, in 367 B.C. he entered Plato's Academy in Athens, where he stayed until his master's death in 347. After performing the role of tutor to the future Macedonian king Alexander the Great, he settled in Athens, where he founded, in 335, a famous school called the "Lyceum" or "Peripatetic school". He was the author of fundamental works in various camps of knowledge: The Organon (logical writings), Metaphysica Physica On the Soul The Nicomachean Ethics Economics Politics Poetics Rhetoric.
Indeed, aristotelian thought has an encyclopaedic character to it, investigating nearly every domain of knowledge, organically and coherently, proceeding from a few fundamental philosophical principles, such as the four causes, the dialectic between potentiality and act, and the distinction between matter and form.
Among aristotelian theories of physics, an important role is played by the doctrine which denies any reality whatsoever to the void. According to Aristotle, an empty space is nothing but a contradiction in terms, space (or rather "place"

AN OVERVIEW OF HIS IDEAS Aristotle went in a direction opposite that of his teacher, Plato . While Plato focused his attentions on the mysterious world of the perfect Forms, Aristotle focused his attentions on the messier visible world immediately around him. Aristotle was greatly fascinated by this empirical or physical world. He was looking for Plato's Forms contained within this visible world. But Aristotle eventually surmised that these Forms were merely abstractions in our mind which we use to categorize the immense information that comes to us about the surrounding world. The Forms, though useful to human logic, were themselves only mental constructs. They had no separate existence like gods or defining spirits (as Plato had asserted). However, when it came to discussion of things beyond this earthly realmthe heavenly realm of the the sun, moon and starsAriostotle evidenced a religious awe. Though the earth might be marked with physical imperfections, these heavenly bodies were the essence of the divine, for they were perfectperfect in their circular shape and circular movement. Thus for Aristotle the perfect-imperfect dualism in life occured not between things seen and unseen (as it had for Plato), but between the imperfect things seen on earth and the perfect things seen in the heavens.
